Fourth year PhD student in Epidemiology | NYU School of Global Public Health

I'm a doctoral student in the Epidemiology track. Prior to enrolling at NYU, I worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Division of Congenital and Developmental Disorders for eight years, including 18 months working in the CDC’s Emergency Operations Center for the 2016 Zika Virus Response. I have an MPH in Global Epidemiology from Emory University and an undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the College of the Holy Cross. I have experience in the fields of public health surveillance, preparedness and response, infectious disease, and maternal and child health.

Abbey supported Dr. Ompad for summer 2022.

First year PhD student in Biostatistics | NYU School of Global Public Health

I am a second-year computer science student at NYU, and also an incoming PhD student for the Biostatistics concentration at NYU GPH. I currently work with Dr. Hai Shu to develop a deep learning-based multiple testing methods that can be applied to high dimensional data such as the ADNI dataset.

Taehyo supported Dr. Shu for summer 2022.

Third year PhD student in Biostatistics | NYU Langone Health Department of Population Health 

I'm a third-year doctoral student in the biostatistics track in the department of population health. My current work focuses on environmental health studies and developing methods to characterize various adverse environmental exposures' effects on outcomes of interest, for example, fetal growth.

Yiwei supported Dr. Belli for summer 2023.

MS student in Biostatistics | NYU School of Global Public Health

I'm an incoming second year MS Biostatistics student and currently a clinical trials research and development intern with Regeneron. I am particularly interested in applications of survival analysis and the planning and execution of clinical trials. Additionally,  I am an NYU Biostatistics consulting lab member and I am working on my second project for NYU Langone which aims to identify environmental exposures to Parkinson's Disease. Before coming to NYU, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Florida and in 2020 I became a certified EMT which inspired me to pursue a degree in public health. 

Emma supported Dr. Murillo for summer 2022.

Second year PhD student in Biostatistics | NYU School of Global Public Health

I'm a doctoral student at NYU School of Global Public Health specializing in Biostatistics. I received a B.A. in Biochemistry and a minor in Mathematics at Occidental College. After that, I joined NYU GPH and obtained M.S. in Biostatistics. I was involved in multiple collaborative projects and consulting tasks, including bayesian adaptive platform clinical trials, meta-analysis, machine learning, psychometrics/measurement development, and several longitudinal/cohort studies during my time at NYU. Currently, I'm working on a transfer learning application on missing data imputations. I'm interested in using data to address public health issues and finding optimal clinical solutions with statistical approaches.

Ruby taught the Introduction to Biostatistics course for summer 2022. 

Fifth Year PhD candidate in Epidemiology | NYU School of Global Public Health

Brigdet taught the Introduction to Epidemiology course for summer 2022.

First Year PhD student in Biostatistics | NYU School of Global Public Health

I will be starting the first year of my Ph.D. program at NYU in fall 2022. After receiving my Bachelor of Medicine in Preventive Medicine from China, I received my MS in Biostatistics from NYU. My research mainly focuses on high-dimensional data analysis, machine learning, causal inference, and their applications to medical data. My thesis is to evaluate the performance of machine learning methods on multi-label diabetes prediction.

Jianan taught the Introduction to Statistical Computing for summer 2022.

MS student in Biostatistics | NYU School of Global Public Health

I'm a Master’s student in the Biostatistics Department concentrating in Data Science at NYU School of Global Public Health. I had graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor’s in Biology where I studied regenerative medicine under Dr. Chang-Hun Lee and had developed a passion for the opposing mechanism of controlled cell proliferation in cancer research. After graduating, I was a researcher in a pancreatic cancer clinical trial under Dr. Vinod Balachandran at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. When the pandemic hit, I was inspired to enter public health after being moved by the disparities emphasized by COVID-19 treatment. Currently, I'm a researcher in the NIH “All of Us” project under Dr. Farzana Kapadia in understanding cancer disparities over time. I am also the Graduate President of the Student Governing Council where I foster a sense of community and promote leadership and professional development opportunities in public health.
